Workshop Demo and Artist's Work.

Demo

Radish, Garlic and Scallions

6x8in oil on canvas SOLD

I always get pumped up when I do a workshop.
I keep it to six artists so I can really get around
to helping each one develop the fracturing technique
to suit what I see as the most natural way for them.

This one had 6 fabulous artists creating

several new paintings each day.
But first they had to start off by watching my
different mark making using the full blown
Fracturing Tool technique.

this was the demo.
KNOW NO FEAR is the the motto!

We start off with basic exercises to learn the Fracturing.
I show some of those on my FREE Art-Byte tutorial calledTools Needed for Fracturing
see HERE
(Have a look at all the other great tutorials
they have on Daily Paintworks.)

Here are some of the artists work(Click to enlarge.)Everyone was encouraged to go about learning the Fracturing in a really free, "know no fear" manner.

I am a painter living in Las Cruces, NM. After many years as an illustrator I turned to fine art to develop my own artistic voice. I currently teach talented and enthusiastic artists in oil, acrylic and egg tempera painting. I am also a member of the Artist Guild of Southern New Mexico.

Dear Julie really I appreciate the way how you teach your students! You are a teacher who guides the students without superimposing your personality to them and this puts them in wonderful condition, to learn and to express themselves at the same time. If they were not so many miles that separate us ... it would be nice to work with you! Congratulations to you as a great teacher, congratulations to your students painters so talented and skilled!

The work your students produced is quite impressive. I was amazed at the quality of the paintings. This speaks to the thought you've given to the fracturing process and your ability to convey this process to others. Perhaps one day I'll be able to take one of your workshops.

Dear Julie - your talent not only shows in your paintings but in being able to share your knowledge as well. I know if I had the opportunity I would travel to take a workshop from you. Your students were so fortunate to have you as their guide and I am sure they knew it. Have a beautiful week.

Julie, Thank you for a wonderful week! I learned so much and am already starting to paint with more confidence. You truly are a great teacher of art. Thanks again for your time, energy and hospitality.

Thank you so much.You are a very good artist, Kathy. Lucky me having you in the class. You have lots of talent and a great personality. Never a complaint passed your lips.I will be looking forward to watching your future work.

I was one of the workshop attendees. I must say that Julie was a kind instructor who gave each of us lots of attention and helped us each to develop our own style. Thank you, Julie, for your help, fine eye, and concern. I feel like a new person after your workshop, and I shall Know No Fear!
